Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz take care of business against Covid-depleted Minnesota Timberwolves

With multiple starters for the Minnesota Timberwolves out for Covid protocols, the Utah Jazz won with relative ease, 128-116.

Despite missing Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards the Timberwolves still put up a fight forcing the Jazz to play their main rotation guys all night. Malike Beasley had a very strong showing scoring 33 points shooting 52% from the field and 43% from three. Naz Reid and D’Angelo Russell also had their moments but it wasn’t near enough to keep up with the full-strength Jazz.

For Utah, Rudy Gobert had a dominating night. Without Towns to keep Gobert out of the paint, the Wolves struggled to score anything at the rim. Gobert also punished the smaller Timberwolves defenders on the offensive end. Gobert finished the game with 20 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 blocks. It’s a massive showing from the the 3X DPOY and shows that if you decide to talk trash with Gobert, you’re going to regret it in the long run.
